    8V RS 3 vs 8P RS 3

    Hi guys, Has anyone raced an 8P RS 3 with their 8V RS 3? Also, for the guys that have jumped directly from an 8P into an 8V, can you actually feel the 20kw increase in power ? ( obviously comparing stock std cars). Keen to know. Cheers.

    Audi S3 Sportback STronic - issues with a flat spot at 3600rpm

    Hi, I have a 2010 Audi S3 Sportback Stronic. I currently have software, 3" downpipe, Autotech HPFP and Forge twintake. I am having a problem on the car that has been very difficult to solve. Ever since the car was mapped, there is massive pull in the timing (Group 003) in VCDS between...

    2010 Audi S3 Sportback - alarm beep - VCDS

    Hi All, I have just taken delivery of my new S3 Sportback S-Tronic. On VCDS, I am some how not able to access the central convenience. I am trying to activate the beep on locking the car with the fob (key), and I am not winning. Does any one have a clue how to do this on the VAGCOM/VCDS...

    S3 with downpipe - exhaust note changed

    Hi, I drove down to coast 3 weeks ago from Johannesburg (1600m above sea level). I have a downpipe, Forge Intake, Forge DV on my 8P S3. The car obviously got louder as I approached Durban ( coast - due to the denser air). I did 1500 km in Durban itself during the week, doing mainly highway...

    Autotech HPFP question

    Hi, Quick question for the guys with the Autotech HPFP ; What does the actual vs specified fuel rail pressure look like on VAGCOM ( Block 230 ). What deviations do you get ? This is not with fuel pump specific map. Thanks, Ved

    Engine/exhaust note with D/P only

    Hi, Reading Sakkie's post wrt to exhaust systems on a S3 got me thinking. I have heard a few S3's with full exhaust. The car becomes really loud. I do not mind it too much, but my wife would have a huge issue with that. Hence I can not fit a full exhaust on my S3. However, can any of you...

    8P - ambient temperature sensor

    Hi, For the last 6 months, (pre any mods) I have noticed that ambient temperature display on my S3 is incorrect. It shoots up pretty high on a hot day with the a/c on. I found that if I switch the aircon off it settles to the correct temperature. This only happens in town driving. It is...

    Forge CAI + Forge DV - dont know whether I am being paranoid

    Hi, I have the Forge CAI and DV on my S3. I really enjoy this setup on my car. The power and more importantly the noises are addictive. Anyhow, I did not drive the car for the last 3 weeks, as I drove the TT down to the coast for the holiday's. I took the car out for a good run, and all...

    S3 - Strange brake noise

    Hi, There has been a strange noise - almost like a clicking noise ( or like " tuk" ) when I brake at slow speed (parking speed) only. This noise only happens some times and not all the time. Today was the first time I was able to replicate the noise. This is not the balls from the back board...
